Abstract

Based on the experimental study platform of compact eight-stand Y-shaped three –roll hot continuous rolling mills, the paper analyzes the continuous rolling deformation process of TC4 titanium alloy bars with the thermo-mechanical coupling of finite element aimed to observe the deformation features in specific pass sequence and conduct how the rolling technology schedule is worked out so as to achieve a stable continuous rolling process with compact production lines
